Technics SL-230 Belt Drive turntable
Made in Japan in the early 1980's, the Technics SL-230 is amongst the last Technics home turntables (not DJ) that had an S-Shaped tonearm.
The removable headshell can accomodate a wide range of cartridges should you ever choose to upgrade. It is a fully-automatic turntable - perfect for those who prefer to just let the turntable do all the work. It even has an auto-repeat function - great if you want to listen to one side of a record repeatedly :) It has a built-in stroboscobe and manual speed adjustment for perfect pitch control, and also has anti-skating to ensure the stylus sits in the groove correctly.
This turntable has been recently serviced and is ready to spin for you. It also comes with a new stylus and is fully setup in all repects. It does not have a lid but you could get one made for under $100 and end up with a turntable that is way better than modern turntables at the same price.
